YomaBarr U.S. Christmas, anytime! Thanks Neurot! This is Magic.

I consider Run Thick In The Night one of the best written albums of all times. And this is just earlier.

Rob Hammer I'm very late to the party but what a fantastic album!

Marcin Wielewski Searching for blues gems, my friend recommended me USX, and it was bull's eye. This album rocks, touches my heart with sorrow melodies, and some dirty vocs. Unlike other albums from USX this one is a bit more kraut/acid, which has additional value. Favorite track: Say Sister.

Doug Gibson I started my USX journey with Run Thick In The Night, but Eat The Low Dogs is every bit as good a slab of spacey, distorted, down-tempo, sludgy, metallic blues rock. Favorite track: Silent Tongue.

"Eat the Low Dogs is a beautifully dark and medicating record that fewer ears will hear than it deserves. It rocks, laments and hollers from the mountainous region of Marion, North Carolina with an enduring gloom that feels archaic and steadfast throughout. The old-timer influences are vast, but U.S. Christmas’ old/new merged sound is unified and deliberate: Hawkwind, Neil Young and slow-burn sludge metal such as Neurosis or Isis with their amps to eleven all play a role in U.S. Christmas’ composite sound which is less sinister as it is somber. The muddling of genres results in a drug-addled state of alternating between southern rock, psych outbursts and old-fashioned country. A grim sincerity permeates the album's core and the drawn-out hymns recall a southern fried Pageninetynine at their most fleshed out, downtrodden and helpless. Eat the Low Dogs is the blues for a generation of misfit types with social problems, from a handful of miscreants with those same problems." - scenepointblank.com

about

U.S. Christmas Marion, North Carolina

USX now approaches a decade of playing, recording, and evolving, and continues to blur the boundaries of heavy music with earsplitting rock that is by turns jangly, crushing, and dark.
